As a cold air mass advances on a warm air mass, what usually comes before it?

1 answer:

8 0

Answer: A cold front occurs when a cold air mass advances into a region occupied by a warm air mass. If the boundary between the cold and warm air masses doesn't move, it is called a stationary front.

Explanation: Two types of occluded front exist: the warm-type and the cold-type. They’re distinguished by the relative temperatures of the air mass ahead of the occlusion – in other words, the air mass ahead of the original warm front – and the air mass behind the cold front. If the air behind the cold front is colder than the air ahead of the occlusion, it shoves beneath that air (because it’s denser) to form a cold-type occluded front. If the air behind the cold front is warmer than the air ahead, it rides over it to form a warm-type occluded front – which appears to be the more common case. In either situation, the lighter warm air representing the air mass originally between the warm and cold fronts sits above the boundary between the two cooler air masses.

A carpenter is driving a 15.0-g steel nail into a board. His 1.00-kg hammer is moving at 8.50 m/s when it strikes the nail. Half

bekas [8.4K]

Answer: The increase in temperature of the nail after the three blows is 8.0636 Kelvins. The correct option is (d).

Explanation:

Kinetic energy of the hammer ,K.E.=

$\frac{1}{2}mv^2=\frac{1}{2}1.00 kg\times (8.50 m/s)^2=36.125 J$

Half of the kinetic energy of the hammer is transformed into heat in the nail.

Energy transferred to the nail in one blow =

$\frac{1}{2}K.E.=\frac{1}{2}\times 36.125 J=18.0625 J$

Total energy transferred after 3 blows,Q = $3\times 18.0625 J=54.1875 J$

Mass of the nail = 15 g = 0.015 kg

Change in temperature = $\Delta T$

Specif heat of the steel = c = 448 J/kg K

$Q=mc\Delta T$

$54.1875 J=0.015 kg\times 448 J/kg K\times \Delta T$

$\Delta T=8.0636 K\approx 8.1 K$

The increase in temperature of the nail after the three blows is 8.1 Kelvins.Hence, correct option is (d).

What would we need to do to make an electromagnet strong enough to move cars and trains

SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

The combined magnetic force of the magnetized wire coil and iron bar makes an electromagnet very strong. In fact, electromagnets are the strongest magnets made. An electromagnet is stronger if there are more turns in the coil of wire or there is more current flowing through it.

Two hockey pucks with mass 0.1 kg slide across the ice and collide. Before

RideAnS [48]

The velocity of pluck 1 is 12 m/s west.

<h3>What is the conservation of momentum?</h3>

The principle of the conservation of the linear momentum states that momentum before collision is equal to momentum after collision.

Now given that;

m1u1 + m2u2 = m1v1 + m2v2

(0.1 * 15) - (0.1 * 12) = 0.1* v + (0.1 * 15)

1.5 - 1.2 = 0.1v + 1.5

0.3 - 1.5 = 0.1v

v = -1.2/0.1

v = - 12 m/s

Hence, the velocity of pluck 1 is 12 m/s west.
